Dear S&S members
***************************************
Over the past 3 months S&S has become one of the greatest HYIPs in the HYIP industry. Unfortunately today (April 17th, 2004 ) this has come to an end.

Last week, a few days before we decided to go private we ran into troubles. The troubles which we encountered essentially led to the closure of S&S Investments. Our method of investment failed, and failed miserably at that. Much was lost, unfortunately.

The S&S Investments website has now been taken offline. We do not wish to accept any more investments from members as this would not make sense at this time. The S&S website will not return now, or anytime in the future as S&S Investments is officially closed.

******************************************

I apoligize deeply from the bottom of my heart that this didn't work out. It hurts me, as much as everyone else the fact that S&S has failed. Not only has it failed you, it has failed me.

I have personally decided that refunds will be made. Each day certain individuals will be refunded until the day that everyone has received their refund. The refunds will not be 100% of your account balance. If you put in $100 the day we opened it would have grown to a very large amount. The refunds will be made for an amount slightly higher than the original investment amount.

I know that the situation is bad at the moment, but I will be doing my best. If Anyone causes trouble such as trying to cause governement intervention refunds will stop. I cannot make refunds if my e-gold accounts are taken etc.

After you have refunded please post to let everyone know that I am doing my job and fufilling my promise.

I wish everyone the Best of Luck
Sceptre

Less than 5 minutes after the update he posted at TalkGold, I received a refund in my e-Gold account that amounted to 94.5% of the total of the deposits I'd made with S&S over the last couple of months. Due to this, I have to say I believe Sceptre is honest, and something went dratically wrong with their program.

I am very thankful to Sceptre (& Stuart, by extension) for the refund. The collapse of S&S shattered a lot of dreams, but the refund will give me a chance to begin to recover.

Thanks for the information. Since all of my funds placed with S&S have been returned with profit, I wish all well.

Were you advised that the refund was placed in your e-Gold account?

Posted by: scottgray

Yes. I recieved a PM at TalkGold (this was less than a minute before the site went down) that I'd gotten my refund. As it happens, I already knew that, since when I saw Sceptre's post about the collapse, I immediately logged in to my e-Gold account so I could tally up the exact amounts I'd invested in S&S over the past couple of months. When I did, I was startled to see my balance much higher than it should have been...and when I checked my history page, I noted the refund payment from S&S.

I checked my "Pay" history to get my initial investment amounts, totaled them, and that's how I knew I'd gotten a 94.5% refund.

I skipped back over to TalkGold, posted in Sceptre's thread that I'd been refunded, noticed a couple of other people had posted messages along those lines, saw I had a new PM, and found it was from Sceptre. I had just replied to it, thanking him for the refund and informing him I'd already posted to TalkGold that I'd been refunded, when TalkGold went down again. Since then, no way to communicate or track what others have said.

That's it in a nutshell; is there anything else I might be able to answer for you?

Thank you for trying so hard for us Sceptre. I pray it all works out well for everyone. We will miss you terribly. What a hole in my game plan. But thankfully not a black hole to suck me in and kill me forever in HYIP!!!

No that's fine, and thanks for replying so promptly!

Dear Sceptre! I know you one of the honest people so I think refunds be done. I think you need some support so I'll be on your side

Best wishes,

Sceptre,

1) Can you clarify if there is a certain order on how refunds will
be done(by account #, date of joining SS, or is it being done randomly?

2) Now that it is over, can you tell us how the $$ were invested
and made the huge profits up to the very end?

I'm on your side too, Sceptre. I'm feeling some pain right now, but I'm willing to be patient.

Hi HYIP People.

Its sad news that S&S is down

.
As very little investor I'am patiently waiting for the refund.
I'am rewarding the gentle way the news is send here and the effort of Stuart and Sceptre to refund everybody =D> .
Stuart and Sceptre, hope you'll survive the bad days soon, I'am patient and waiting at your side.

Hello Sceptre and members,

I am a high end investor of S&S, when i am refunded i will post on all forums to let everyone know these guy's are for real and honest to their word. I support stuart and sceptre.

Posted by: golddust

Sceptre and Stuart gave it a good run. It's hard to be honest when admitting failure, but I believe S&S will do their best to see that members will received a fair refund. I support their efforts, and as a small spender, I'll wait for a refund.

Bummed just the same. . .

It appears that Sceptre will do his best but, based on Stuart's posts and actions, I doubt that Stuart will participate in any effort. He has posted that he wishes Sceptre the best but will not be helping him. An unfortunate time for Sceptre to find out how little moral fibre his partner has.

I hope that Sceptre can follow through and deserves kudos if he can...*S*

I had not gotten wind of Stuart's antics when I posted previously.
Don't know what his problem is, but I feel cosmic justice has the last say in these kind of things, immature and irresponsible acts are usually returned in kind. [-X

Got a Full Refund from S&S

So for S&S investors, there's hope.
Thank you Sceptre!

I was hoping by not bugging it might expedite my refund. Hasn't worked so far. :-#

I make it that as at 29/04, 140 people have been refunded by Sceptre since the programme closed on April 17th. You and I are in the same boat, awaiting refunds. IMHO chances are good that we'll get refunded, all we have to do is hang on... [-o<

Posted by: golddust

I would just like to get a refund. I've never gotten one before. I've "heard" about getting a refund.
Just want to know what that feels like. Might restore my faith in "trusted" programs. Or not.

The only refund I ever got was from StockDefenders. They refunded me 100% which was a nice surprise. I have confidence that S&S will be the second refund.

My stepson got his $100 back from SD. I doubt I'll ever see my $700. Gambled.. and lost...
